Tips for cleaning coils?

[Danny Shipley]

i just bought a tfv4 off my mate and he loves menthol , I can't stand menthol and the taste is still in the coils after rinsing it under the tap about 3 times and adding my own juice , I don't have alcohol or anything just water really . How can I get the menthol taste out

There are some flavors that are almost impossible to get out of the wick and coils... menthol is one. I'd suggest putting it in a baggie and saving it for a time you don't have any coils and just install a new one.

Oh I'm dumb, I thought you were using a rebuildable.

Yeah, you're gonna have to swap out the coil head for a new one. There's not really any "getting the flavor out" without a rewick, which is very hard to do in those pre-made heads.

Yikes...
Are you using the RBA or the replaceable stock coils?
I'll be honest, washing a coil is pretty much guaranteed to wreck it.
My advice, buy a new coil for your tank.
Clean and dry your tank thoroughly using only water and start fresh, it may take a tank or so to completely rid yourself of the menthol taste but it's probably your best bet.
When swapping between flavours in the same tank I always try and keep to something similar, I.e strawberry to cherry.
Good luck

Hello and welcome... As for your coil you will have to change it and perform a good cleaning of your tank to rid yourself of the menthol........ Good luck

Absolutely right RBAs and RTAs are much easier. Pull the wick out dry burn the coil and rewick after thoroughly rinsing the atty.

Better yet get an atty for yourself.

I usually rinse mine with water and cover the air holes and blow through it, I usually repeat this a couple times. But it's best to use certain coils for certain flavors I think or use a rba and replace the cotton.

+1. New coil time.

I have the TFV4 and I use the single and dual RBAs, but before that I would soak the triple pre-built coil in some Everclear (PGA) for a couple of days and let it air dry until dry. That worked for me with hard to remove flavors and it worked just like new.
